Phew! Another busy Saturday. Just after lunch went up to Hayes Town to join with some folks from Hayes Town Chapel as they sang Christmas Carols in the high street and shared the gospel with those to stopped to listen. Whilst there were a good number of singers, most of the men didn’t sing either bass or tenor parts, so it was a good job I had gone along as there were only two of us singing parts, me on bass and another chap on tenor.
Later that afternoon was the baptisms of Ali, Ally, David A, David H, Jarwad and Mim. It was encouraging to hear these young people declaring their faith in Jesus Christ both to us as a church and to their peers whom they had invited to witness the event.

“May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21

Finally, the usual suspects, and then some, celebrated Christine’s birthday. First we went bowling, allowing me to finally beat Karen and come top of the table! We then moved on to Sarah’s place to finish off the evening with some pizza, cake and games.
Time for bed I think.
